“My at-bat-to-at-bat results don’t define me as a player. What defines me is my process, preparation, and execution.”

Mental Performance Coach
I did what every serious athlete does: I outworked everyone. Hitting every day, living in the weight room, doing whatever it took physically to become the best version of myself. Then COVID shut the game down, and for the first time in ten years I had space to reflect. I was proud of how far I'd come, and still I felt empty. My effort wasn't matching the results I felt I deserved, and I couldn't put my finger on why.
The missing piece turned out to be the biggest one: the mind.
So I went as deep into the mental game as I'd ever gone into the physical one, and it changed how I played: free, confident, having more fun and competing with more purpose than I'd ever felt. I left junior college a two-time All-American and finished my career at Arizona on a team that won both Pac-12 titles. The truth is, I didn't have the talent to go that far. My mind carried me there.
When my playing days ended I coached at Arizona during a College World Series run, then at San Diego State, where we won the Mountain West in our first year. I've now coached more than 50 high-performing college and pro baseball players, one on one, all of them serious about finding out what it actually takes to become great.
